Amethyst674 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hello, I have been on every SSRI and SNRI there is and they have all failed me in one way or another. The only 2 that worked for me were Effexor (pooped out after 10 years) And Lexapro. (pooped out after a few years) I am currently on Viibryd. But I have gained 10 pounds in 6 weeks. It gives me awful sweets cravings. Also it zaps me of energy and I have to drink tons of coffee throughout the day to get through. I am also on adderal so this should not be happening. I am trying to decide if I should switch to Brintellix. I am looking for feed back on the 3 most important things to me. Is it energizing? (does it work for depression of course?) Does it cause weight gain? I know that viibryd claims to not cause weight gain but that is horse shit because I have read tons of posts on people who are having major issues with hunger and sweet cravings and have gained a bunch of weight on it. I am praying brintellix will be different and that I will not have to drink 8 cups of coffee a day in order to make it through the day on it. Any feedback positive or negative would be appreciated.
